XII. In time of wrath, when fury waxes great, Be thou my Bulwark and securest Tower; To thy transcending Name let me retreat, And be defended by thy mighty Power. Secure me till thy Vengeance is past over, That I thy Praises may to all discover.
XIII. Let me with Patience run that blessed Race, And From my weights, which very sore have bin, Be now set free, that with a swifter pace I may the Prize of lasting Glory win. Be thou my Guide, do thou direct my Path, Lord give me Patience, & with Patience Faith.
XIV. Thy Children are as (many) Members joined Which make one body, whose blest Head thou art, ⟨p. 120⟩O cause them with an undivided mind And perfect Union, to have all one heart: Then shall I hope to see a blest increase Of sion's Glory, and of Israel's Peace.
